SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted December 29, 2019 That one really made me mad. He no doubt hit with the crown if the helmet. It was IMO targeting. But the clemson qb going out from such a vicious helmet hit for 1 play. He couldnt have been checked for a cuncussion and thats just dangerous. But also in the defense of the osu player he was mid air. Aiming for the chest and you cant change direction at that point. What the quarterback does with his head from that point he has no control over. And there had actually been a few similar hits this season in other games that got reversed. But never against osu. Lordy lordy they have to be held to a different standard i guess lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean in any other game ive ever watched it sure has. He did just short of 5 yards with secured possession? Ball never moved once. Never slipped. He locked it in instantly with his hands. What i noticed the most is how well the refs were at taking any sort of momentum osu could claw for and removing it with a bad call. I personally hope LSU makes clemson look silly. That will just confirm LSU vs OSU would have been a better game. But with the refs on your side its hard to lose a game. Not sure who the refs will be for the championship but if they are the same LSU better be prepared to play not only a team. But the refs aswell. Sad. In my opinion he never gained control of the ball. It was a bang bang play and the defender knocked it free before he gained control of it. The officials reviewed it and REVERSED the call on the field. They don't reverse questionable calls, so obviously there was no doubt in the mind of the official. The rules expert on the coverage crew also agreed it was the correct call. I also don't think LSU will run over Clemson like they did Oklahoma, but we will see. I'm not a fan of either team remaining, so no bias here, but to me the best 2 teams remain and the system worked this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't do that if there was any doubt. It was not a catch therefore no fumble. The rules expert on the coverage I was watching agreed with the officials that it was not a catch. One of the announcers did disagree with him though. Turn the slow motion off and watch it. I don't believe for a second that the crew working that game showed any favoritism to anyone. OSU didn't do enough to win, plain and simple. Was a great game to watch though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoolBreeze 62 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Fishfiles said: The targeting call to me really changed the game , might have deserved the 15 yard by today's standards for helmet to helmet , but I didn't feel it deserved player ejection for targeting , the QB lower his head into the on coming defender , who to me was trying to hit him in the chest , till the QB dropped his head to take the impact he seen was coming in his chest ----I think that if they are that concerned about a player taking a hit to the head while being tackled , then change to game to flag football I don't agree with the rule but that was clearly targeting as the rule is written. The officials have to enforce the rules as written. The defender dropped his head and lead with the crown of his helmet. It doesn't have to be helmet to helmet for it to be targeting.

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 5, 2020 I went to the dentist Friday , my first time to this dentist as he just opened a office in Lacombe , I knew if the doctor was from Louisiana that he must have went to LSU Dental School as it is the number one around here , so I asked and sure enough he did , so we became buddies fast and were on talking LSU football as much as I could with my mouth opened up , I told him a story I just learned and he added to it , the 1st and only time a Heisman trophy winner was from LSU was in 1959 , Billy Cannon , Billy was also a dentist and I had heard that he was a bad boy back when and became the dentist for the inmates at Angola State Prison not by his desires , my dentist was telling me that he had gotten to meet Billy a couple of times while in dental school , says he is really big and super nice guy that had a wild and crazy life , seems Joe Burrow is the total opposite I hope Joe gets the win in the National Championship and finished with a perfect season and become a NFL quarterback and does well , Go Tigers!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made pumping gas into it near impossible. (Pump would just shut off) Took and hour and a half to fill up the 35 gallon tank at a trickle pace. Whole new gas tank on order 10 days out..........but its been 8 days already so it will be fixed soon. So update on my truck. New gas tank is finally in and it did fix it. Went on national back order. Took nearly 4 weeks to get it. Just installed it yesterday. I have never been so happy to pump gas in my whole life. Took 5 minutes to pump 30 gallons. After emptying a 5 gallon gas can into it to get me to the gas station. So the verdict is the gas tank valve was bad. Finally i got that thing out of my garage and everything is back to normal. Sorry fish for this off topic. But this is where i posted about it before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am looking at it like this , if LSU were to lose , it would be disappointing , but as long as they play a good game I would be happy with what Coach O has done with this team this year , beating Alabama alone was enough for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 14, 2020 Congratulations to LSU for a perfect season , they beat the 4 teams that were ranked 1 thru 4 at the start of the season , they beat 7 top 10 teams and are the first team to be ranked number 1 entering the playoffs to win it all in the 6 years of the new playoff system Yep , I hear you 'quick , the refs for the most part let them play , you could have called both offensive an defensive pass interference on almost every play 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KoolBreeze 62 Posted January 14, 2020 Wow I had a total failure on that prediction! Oh, it was an interesting game up until the part of the way through the 3rd quarter at least. It was obvious to anyone who was watching who had the better team for sure but dang Lawrence had the worst game passing the ball I've seen him play, which is not very many.
